About
Alpen Labs is a blockchain infrastructure company that builds financial markets on Bitcoin secured by zero-knowledge proofs, enabling the adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through programmable custody, credit, and yield products. The company's platform provides Bitcoin-native security with flexible key management and programmable custody, allowing users to create vaults with multi-signurrency support including BTC and USDC, 2-of-3 key architectures, configurable spending limits, and permission-based access controls. Alpen Labs offers financial products that integrate vaults, credit, and yield capabilities into external products through an SDK and MCP surface, enabling developers to build Bitcoin-native financial applications with self-custody, borrowing, and earning functionality.
